That drop from 2 to 6/7 is quite steep, and disgustingly unwarranted. Cal Poly not getting in after knocking off a national #2 is ALSO disturbingly wrong.

And how the heck is a .500 team in there THIS late in the season?!?

This is why it's hard to take the SN poll seriously. Don't forget, for teams to get these points, that means mulitple idiots had to put these teams in the Top 25. WTF?
